We run a lively events programme throughout the year, bringing members and stakeholders together with our experts to network, engage, share ideas and develop policy thinking that shapes the capital’s future. The vast majority are now in-person, with a select few remaining virtual.

Most of our 120 events a year are for members and invited stakeholders, but if you see one you’d like to attend, please get in touch with us. Our flagship conference programme is open to all, with tickets available for non-members. If you would like the know more about the forward programme, get in touch.

BusinessLDN is delighted to be returning to UKREiiF this year. Find out more about the events we are hosting with our partners.

Net Zero Trajectories; Learning from London and Beyond @ UKREiiF

Cities across the UK are setting ambitious net zero emissions targets in order to mitigate climate change. Yet, the journey towards net zero is not one that any city can undertake alone. London may be at the forefront of this journey, navigating unique challenges and opportunities, but has a lot to learn from the rest of the country and progressive business practices. Collaboration and knowledge sharing between cities and between public and private sector entities are essential for accelerating progress and fostering results.
